LOS ANGELES, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Influential jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, who played on hundreds of recordings during a career spanning 50 years, died in a Los Angeles hospital on Monday, his manager said. He was 70.
The Grammy Award-winning musician had been a patient at Sherman Oaks Hospital since suffering a heart attack a month ago, manager David Weiss said.
Famed for his fiery style, Hubbard played with such jazz icons as Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane.
